Fig. 3From: A novel computed tomography angiography technique: guided preoperative localization and design of anterolateral thigh perforator flapDifferent origin variation types and percentages of the descending branch. a–e The descending branch originated from the lateral circumflex femoral artery, while the lateral circumflex femoral artery originated from different superior vessels, such as the deep femoral artery, the common femoral artery, the external iliac artery, and the superficial femoral artery. f The descending branch originated from the deep femoral artery. g The descending branch originated from the superficial femoral artery. h The descending branch originated from the common femoral artery. Notes: Data are presented as %. EIA, external iliac artery; CFA, common femoral artery; SFA, superficial femoral artery; DFA, deep femoral artery; LCFA, lateral circumflex femoral artery; AB, ascending branch; TB, transverse branch; OB, oblique branch; and DB, descending branchBack to article page
